What do envision retirement to be like?

I know a lot of you are quite young and for many retirement seems to be elusive; but when that day comes, what do you envision doing? I am having difficulty adjusting. Part of it is this cold weather that prevents me from getting outside. I am volunteering at the church, reading, cooking/baking, and still selling a few clamps. Need to get back into learning spanish. Just wish these feelings of anxiety and depression would go away.

How does one deal with watching savings start being repleted instead of growing?

How do you tell people and institutions you have helped financially that you can't do it anymore.

I doubt I'll be able to retire. I think retirement was for the boomers and the later generations are going to be stuck working till they die.

Plus both my parents retired and died within a few years, so maybe it's best I stay working.

I'll probably end up living in a van so my son can have everything. Maybe working remotely so I can still enjoy a bit of travel.

@MarbleMarvel they kind of have it figured out to keep us working until stastically we're dead so as to avoid having to pay social security. The average age of men having heart attacks is 65 so now the retirement age is 67 and they'd really like us to wait until 70.to withdraw anything.
